They had a great band going downstairs, but I highly recommend heading upstairs to check out all the rooms and the other bar and live music if you want something a bit quieter! Definitely a dive but in the best way possible. Cool history, unique venue, and fun live music! It is probably in top ten favorite bars I've ever been to in the world!

A Night of Cocktail Chaos & Southern Comfort!…read more I walked in craving an **Old Fashioned** and got... pure *bamboozlement*--like, did they fiberglassic my taste buds? Undeterred, I pivoted to a **Manhattan**, and *oh my glory*--turns out the first mixologist was just warming up (or maybe daydreaming?). Then, salvation arrived in the form of a **gothic cocktail queen** who waved her magic shaker, swapped out the **1738** for a *proper* Old Fashioned, and all was right with the world. (*Saturday at 8 PM vibes: chill, smooth, just how I like it.*) By **9 PM**, the place was *alive*--good energy, great staff, just a solid crew making sure the night stayed on track. Now, the plot twist? I was *this close* to dropping a **2-star rating**... until the **blackened catfish** hit my table. **HOLY FLAVOR.** Perfectly seasoned, generous portion--I'm talking *"cancel your dinner plans and just come here"* levels of delicious. **4 STARS, EASY.** Final verdict? **Rough start, glorious finish.** Will be back for that catfish... and maybe another round of cocktail roulette. this was perfect for a gambling town. When you aspect the worst you get the best.

When…read moreyou walk in, it feels like you are walking right into the 80s or 90s or at least that seems when the last update was. You surely get a nostalgic feeling. The thing I notice is that they are very inclusive. They have several nights including karaoke, comedy, drag shows, and various event nights throughout the week. The owner is super sweet and inviting. She made sure to go around and speak to everyone that was there. During my visit, I did order food. I had the chess club sandwich. It is served on white bread and is filled with salami, bacon, gouda, lettuce pickle and onions. It was ok. It took forever for it to come out. People who had arrived way after us received their food quicker than we did. I had to go to the bar several times to ask about our food. I found out that the bartender was also the cook, so that semi explains the delay. I had a salad along with my sandwich. It was ok. I couldn't eat it all because the dressing was not good. I do want to state that it is a cool place to dive into if you are looking for something to do throughout the week. I not sure if the food is meant to be the central focus, but they so have vegan options in addition to a full craft and alcoholic beverage menu.
